BABY HUM0RS
And all Skin and Scalp Diseases
Speedily Cured by Cuticura.

Our little son will be four. years of age on
the 18th inst. In May, 1885, he was attacked
with very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called In physician who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received III.
tie or no good from the treatment as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to be
hives in an aggravated form, became larger
IN blOtches, and more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged to get up In the
night and rub him with soda in water, strong
liniments, etc. Finally, we called other ply
sicians, until no less than six had attempted
to cure him. all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse, until about
the 10th of last July, when we began to give
him CUTICURA RESOLvENT internally, and the
CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP externally, and
by the last August he was so nearly well that
we gave him only one dose of the Resolvent
about every second day for about ten days
longer, and he has never been troubled since
with the horrible malady. In all we used less
than one half of bottle of CuticuTa ResOv-
ent, a little less than one box of Cuticura, and
only one cake of Cuticura Soap.

A Word About Catarrh.

at is the mucous membrane, that wonder
full semi-tiuid envelope surrounding the deli
cate tissues of the air and food passages, that
Catarrh makes its stronghold. Once estaD-
lshed, it eats into the very vitals, and renders
life but n lOng-drawn breath of misery and
disease, dulling the sense of hearing, tram
melting the power of speech, destroying the
faculty Of smell, tanting the breath, and kill
ing the refined pleasures of taste. InsidiOus-
ly, by creeping on from a simple cold in the
head, il assaults the membranOus lining and
envelOps the bones, eating through the deli
cate coats and causing inflammation, slough
ing and death. Nothing short of total eradi-
cation will secure health TO the patient, and
all alternatives are simply prOcrastinated suf-
ferings leading to II fatal termination. SAN
FORDS RADICAL CURE, by Inhalation and by
Internal administration, has never failed;
even when the disease has made fTightful in
roads on delicate constitutions, hearing,
smell and taste have been recovered, and the
disease thoroughly driven out"

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER, 2, 1887.

ILLINOIS catches the "Bald Knob"
fever from Missouri, christens 1t white
Cap" and starts in to regulate the sa-
looms, the marriages, and the justices
decisions In Harrison county. This
whole matter grows out Of the intoler-
ance ofprivate opinion, fostered by the
state in Its attempted prescriptions Of
certain Industries, and its Interference
with the purely private habits of citi-
zens. These busy bodies naturally sup
pose they may attempt to do what the
state undertakes. The only remedy is
prompt prosecution and the severest
penalties under the law. There has
been entirely too much Of this "reguIat-
ing" business and the regulators need
regulation inside OF four walls.

MEXICO is becoming the headquarters
Of sensational revelations. The latest
contribution to the startling literature
Of the land at MOntezums is tine revela-
ton made by General EsoobedO OF the
part that Macmillan took in the sur
render OF the convent OF La Cruz, which
surrender has always been considered
an act. of blacklist treaChery on the part
Of his Lieutenant, Gen. Lopez. The
revelations now made show that Max
imilian commissioned Lopez TO offer the
surrender Of the convent as the price OF
his own personal safety, and that these
terms EscobodO did not accept as his
government had ordered him to accept
no terms but those Of unconditional sur
render. The whole revelation is by no
means Oreditable to Macmillan who
evidently desired to save his person at
the expense of his honor.

Now that the Georgia state authorities
have begun their inquest into the dew
iIish cruelties practiced upon cOnvlcts
By the lessees Of prison labor the hOrri-
bic record grows more and more appall-
ing. In Dodge county a contractor
named Bryant COOlly whipped sick
convict, to compel his working, until
the man fell dead at his feet. Another
man was shot dead by guard who
was stationed below camp to intercept
the escaped. His breast was filled with
shot, showing that he had been deliber-
atelly murdered as he approached the
guard, and not in attempting to run
away from him. 1t lie high time that
the possibilities OF such outrages come
to a perpetual end, and this can only be
done when the leasing of convict
labor to private parties Ia for
ever done away with. The real
end OF imprisonment for crime
Is twofOld-tO foroibly prevent
life Of crime and protect society there
by; also to reform the criminal and pro-
tect society thereby. Neither OF these
ends is answered In the system Of con-
Wet leasing, but both are In a manner
defeated. The opportunities for the es-
cape OF criminals are multiplied and the
probability Of reformation effectually
destroyed. When the protection OF So
ciety in the reformation Of criminals ls
made the end Of the law, then there will
be some hope for the criminal classes.
True philanthropy, genuine Christliness
has vast field opening and long opened
for the exercise Of its ministries in this
work Of criminal reformation, but there
Is an unchristly backwardness In taking
hold of 10.

His blast goes sweeping BY,
And down the landscape, cold and dssas,
Beneath troubled sky,
Der upland far and pasture land,
Traced BY the brooks slow now,
Where dreaming trees like spsctsos stand
Above the rocks and snow,
The giant Of the beaten void
Shrieks ir his ahsiiier note,
The last OF all the months TO hold
Old Winters dag ahoat.
Dark demon Of the ruder band,
Ride fast and far today,
In changing ehadows down the laad,
First hera.d Of the May.
Within the bosom OF the mead.
The glad heart Of the hill,
By greener glade. were swsyed the reed
When summer drank the rill.
Divineiy innocent Of guile.
Now comes reluctant Spring.
With higher sun to daunt erewhile
The Krsy, old, fsmishsd king!
Hear the far coughing Of The winds
In their low undertone,
As on her pa lid brow she binds
The willow and the cone;
Filings back the fettered bands that gave
Queen Nature to the tomb,
Preparing on her transient grave
Lnxuriant fields to bloom.
And though the eurg ng forests frown,
And earth sooks cold and bare
The gems of Aprirs violet crown
The winds Of March prepare.
